Maybe I will write my wife love letters and leave them in D mail. Wouldn’t that be romantic?



Initially, I gave Kay the DG subscription as a way to get her to spend more time on the computer. I invested in all this computer access equipment for blind people, but she wasn’t using it. I thought if I combined computers with gardening she would get past her technophobia. At first, it didn’t seem to be working so I started using the DG subscription myself.



Now, she has started a Garden Journal and is trying to ferret out the botanical names for Amargia’s plants. (Plant Files) More recently she’s started hanging out on Sustainable with Darius Van D’Rhys. (Her second favorite DG writer I’m sure, Carrie.) Now, there is keeping up with everyone on Accessible. And, she’s getting into plant and seed trading.



The way things are now, to get time for myself on DG, I needed my own subscription.



Kudzu, for those fortunate enough not to know, is an extremely invasive plant in the Deep South. The joke locally is that Kay is like kudzu. You can cut it to the ground, burn it or poison it.. It may lay low for a time, but it will always come back stronger than ever. Since I stuck Kay with Kudzu1, she stuck me with sea cane pain. Sea cane or elephant grass (Arundo donax) is yet another invasive southern plant. Just as bad as kudzu if it has a source of water.
